Hitler's agenda was conservative. Do read the Nazis. For a "socialist" Hitler had good from Germany's capitalists. The Social Democrats, labor leaders, and, of course, Communists had it bad in Nazi Germany. Besides the Jews, Hitler also did in handicapped people (so-called useless eaters), homosexuals, Gypsies, Slavs and others.
